Not really.  All the normal elements of the 419 scam are there.  It's
just another version of the same stupid scam.

I know that this letter may come to you as a surprise but your contact
was given to me by a reliable friend of my father working in dubai
Chambers of Commerce, Industries and developement, After I told him that
I needed a reliable and honest business partner outside emirates. 


My name is mr. TANKO YAKASSI. I am a Sierra Leonean and the son of the
late Osman  Yakassi, former Director-General of the Government of Gold
and Diamond Office (GDDO) in Freetown. He replaced the Lebanese business
tycoon Mr Jamil Mohamed Saheed who was sacked by the government of
President Ahmed Tejan max. 

Unfortunately, my father was attacked by rebels of the Revolutionary
United Front (RUF) in Kono, Eastern Sierra Leone. 

He survived the bullet wounds and was hospitalised at the Connaught
Hospital in Freetown where he later died of internal bleeding. Before he
died, he revealed to me that he has US$ 35.MILLION in an Iron Crate
which he lodged in a security company for safe keeping in dubai,united
arab emirates. 

And he registered the contents of the box as gold and diamond which
belongs to him and his foreign partner.

 He also confided in me that he kept the certificate of the deposit and
the keys of the box in his safe. 
As last month, I traced the address of the security company in dubai.

a state in united arab emirates. Backed with the certificate and receipt
of the part payment, I met the Director of the security company with the
receipt for collection of the box. 

After thorough verifications, he agreed for the release provided I can
come along with the foreign partner who is involved in the transaction. 


Based on this development, I contacted a friend of my father who is
working at the Chamber of Commerce to assist me to seek for a reliable,
honest and well-established individual that has business foresight, he
then gave me your contact as the person he believes will do a fair
transaction with me. 


I propose that you come as the foreign partner concerned so that we can
retrieve the money from the security company. I have decided that for
all assistance and inconveniences, 20% of the total sum would be yours,
while the rest of the remaining balance will be put into investment
opportunities 
in any profitable areas you might suggest in your country or any where
else you trust. 


Please keep this proposal in the most confidential manner and I assure
you of our 100% risk free transaction. 

Please let me be informed of your decision to come so that I can work on
your visa. While I close here, I hope 
that Almighty God will give you the power to do this transaction with me
and I am waiting for your urgent responds to this letter.

 You can send me Email through the above address, 
Thanks so much for your co-operation. 


Yours Faithfully 
 

MR TANKO YAKASSI.
